Students investigate the theory of evolution by natural selection, drawing on fossil evidence, comparative anatomy and genetics. The elective moves from early life and dinosaur extinction through to natural and artificial selection, speciation, divergent and convergent evolution, and the human evolutionary tree. A focus on evidence for evolution culminates in a formal laboratory report. A highlight lesson debates de-extinction. This subject also addresses pseudoscience as a critical thinking exercise.
